Well-maintained pitches five minutes’ walk from Porthleven, Cornwall
A 10-minute drive to Flambards Theme Park; 15 minutes to Marazion
On-site pub; five minutes’ walk to the beach and South West Coast Path

A family-run touring caravan and campsite located about 500 meters from the centre of the historic fishing village of Porthleven, Mill Lane Campsite is a dog-friendly spot with generous-sized, level pitches and plenty of space for all the family. The campsite is a five-minute walk from Porthleven beach, famous as one of Cornwall’s best reef breaks (are you listening, surfers?). It’s also five minutes to the South West Coast Path, making this a great base for long-distance hikers too. Porthleven village hosts the award-winning Food Festival in July, but you can eat in quirky cafes, traditional pubs or fine-dining restaurants – all serving fresh, seasonal food – any time of year. Pick up foodie supplies in the local shops – including delicious Cornish pasties – and there’s a handy supermarket too. And there’s no need to fret about keeping everyone entertained in the evenings. The on-site free house sells the world-famous Cornish ale Spingo, brewed in Helston (10 minutes’ drive), so adults are never far away from a refreshment. For the kids, there’s a pool table in the pub, as well as sport on the big screen and live music throughout the year. Bingo fans can play every Friday evening at 7pm with cash prizes.

Not great for the cost, but pitches were level.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Easy walking to harbour and coast path.

Disliked: The facilities were very dated and could do with an upgrade, but the showers were cleanish with plenty of hot water. WiFi was poor, especially as there was one other unit on site when we were first got there

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Very convenient for Porthleven, just a 10 minute stroll to the harbour. We had a pitch with a hard standing, plenty of room for our awning and even though we were at the far end of the site, it was an easy walk to the facilities. Pitches were fairly level - some vans were using chocks, but we didn’t feel the need. Everything was cleaned on a daily basis and the showers were excellent. Enjoyed a beer in the adjoining Out of the Blue pub (they sell Spingo!) and this is also where you check in. All in all, an enjoyable stay the food festival was fun and a shout out for the Ship Inn - good food and great beers.

Disliked: Some of signage is a bit on the amateur side and the WiFi was very spotty, often dropping out altogether. I’m not sure if there’s heating in the showers/toilets - could be a bit chilly.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Easy access. Clean facilities. Good beer in on-site bar. Close to harbour and costal walks. Close to bus stop with regular buses.

Disliked: No contact with owners/managers. Access to waste facilities not easy from bottom field, so could benefit from a decent path via the main field.

Liked: General proximity to Porthleven
Wi-Fi worked well

Disliked: Just two toilets and they were dirty most of the time as they were shared with the pub.
Expensive for what you got
No engagement from the owners
Two lots of dog mess on our plot when we arrived.

Local attractions

If you’re keen to get out on the water, Porthleven beach (five minutes’ walk) is a fantastic surfing spot, and you can take coastal cruises (try one at dusk for spectacular sunset views) or sea-fishing trips from Porthleven harbour (10 minutes). Meanwhile, at Marazion (15 minutes’ drive) it’s a short hop across the bay to the crag-top castle and gardens at Mount St Michael. Kids will clamour to get on the coasters and flumes at Flambards Theme Park (10 minutes), or splash in the sea at sheltered Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach. There are plenty of family hikes along the Lizard Heritage Coast (both 20 minutes) and lots of seabirds for the kids to spot along the way. And there’s masses of art and culture in these parts too; the galleries and museums of St Ives (30 minutes) warrant a day’s attention, and there are rare plants and wacky artworks to be seen in Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (20 minutes).
